China pushing to hold trade talks with U.S. at G20 summit in Argentina

Beijing recently announced it’s in talks with U.S. officials about a possible meeting in Argentina.

At a press conference Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Lu Kang said the country’s president plans to meet President Trump at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires next month.

The proposed talks will focus on striking a deal to resolve trade tensions between the two nations.

Kang insisted the potential trade deal must be a “win-win” for both nations.

“Of course if the relevant side is no longer willing to continue promoting such a mutually beneficial cooperation in the spirit of equality and mutual benefit, China is confident enough to stick to our own path, to continue reforms and opening up and developing ourselves,” stated the Chinese foreign minister.

This comes after President Trump claimed he would impose over $200 billion worth of new tariffs on China if fair deal is not locked down.
